"But you already had this demon's Essence"
...am I missing something?

I used my Nahobeeho essence for affinity and then tried to grind another Essence to get some skills... but then it said I already had it even though the essence shows as Absent.

I could get repeated essences for things like Pixie, but then I also tried with Dagda and got the same message.

Are some essences unique per playthrough or what am I supposed to do to get another Nahobeeho/Dagda essence?

I don't think there is a limitation for demons to give their essences in 1 playthrough. Just tested with Nahobeeho and Dagda. They gave me their essences 3rd time no problem.

There are different types of Aogami essences (Type 2, Type 3, etc.) that you can use to give skills/affinities to your Nahobino. You can only have one essence of each type in your inventory at a time. What happened is likely that the Aogami Type that you used was a different type than the one you are trying to pick up.

If this is for an essence you don't already have then idk, that's weird.
Didn't say aogami once in the post. I definitely got more than one nahobeeho essence during my playthrough. I'm not sure what's going on.

Nahobeeho, not nahobino. It's a jack frost varient demon essence, not an aogami essence.

tl;dr i had some weird glitch, tried to use the essence of both absent demons and it worked, after that i managed to refill them as expected.

thanks everyone for the help, even the ones talking about aogami randomly lol

oh, my bad. I don't know why, but I assumed you were spelling nahobino wrong and confusing the aogami with nahobino.

You are good, I understood you meant while having these assumptions, thanks again for taking the time to reply if anything!
